Busting the pro nuclear positive spin by TEPCO

Ex-Fukushima Daiichi Worker: “There are leaks everywhere” — Tepco portraying situation in best possible light http://enenews.com/ex-fukushima-daiichi-worker-there-are-leaks-everywhere-tepco-portraying-situation-in-best-possible-light July 26th, 2012  By ENENews  Takahashi Kei, a former cooling system worker at the plant now working as a radiation survey volunteer, said [Tepco’s] executives are portraying the situation in the best possible light.

“There are leaks everywhere, wreckage too. It’s not as simple as they portray,” he said.

TEPCO acknowledges that three reactors at the plant remain full of melted and re-solidified fuel that must be removed and that spent fuel pools elsewhere on the grounds must be kept cool to prevent them from releasing radiation again. It estimates it will take about 40 years to
completely decommission the site.
